...or you can vote Green, Democrat or any number of the minor parties that are pro-NBN and anti-filter for the Senate, and with an ALP House you can have both (unless Conroy does something shitty like combine the two in one bill).

Yeah this policy isn't really a 'winner' for Libs for the tech savy. While we might support their stance on the filter (yay for Hockey and Turnbull who have some sense) we can now safely vote green/labor and get the NBN and NO filter.

I'd rather a miopic ideology than a completely reactionary one, but how does using nauseating net speak indicate anything other than electioneering?

Oh he said "FTW"? Well those are the guys I want representing our nation on the political stage and working through adversity to improve our country's infrastructure. If they start yelling memes in parliament, who knows, we may be the new age superpower.

Why is the decision between a childish and informal minister and a comically under-qualified one something to get excited about? One would implement a terrible idea against the advice of professionals and invested parties. The other would know more or less the same that we do, and patronise their way in for fear we'd get bored and disenchanted if they didn't perform the political equivalent of a fan-service. Why are we celebrating this? ;_;

Had he yelled out "OK LET'S DO THIS..... LEEEEROOOOOOOOOOOOOOY JENNNNNNKINSSSSS" then proceeded to run into another room I would have blown so hard that it would have stopped the earth's rotation; and I don't even play WoW.
